Description saving & slots to swap descriptions

[SardineTheAncestor]

It'd be pretty cool if we could save our character's description to numbered slots and swap it on the fly, for different clothing, in the case of characters who change between many outfits and like having those outfits described via examine, rather than just leaving them as WYSIWYG.

Would everyone use it? Maybe not. A lot of people don't have a description for their character at all. I'm sure it's been suggested before, too, but I thought I'd check in. It might inspire more people to put a description for their character knowing they have more options than set and forget or saving them as macros/copypasting them, when the server could potentially do it for them.

Such a system would have to automatically account for and switch between disguises, polymorphed disguises, and any other subsequent systems we might choose to add that affect the description. It’s quite possible, but also quite complicated, so it won’t be high on our priority list.

I figured that a disguise would plug right into this pretty well, since disguise slots work in a similar way. In any case, that's a shame, but the copy and paste method is fine too.

It’s a series of switches based on variables set on the player’s data object. The more different switches there are, the more possible combinations: the more combinations, the more careful I have to be to keep track of all of them. Like I said, totally doable but not high priority.

Understandable, we have alternatives for now at least. Thanks for the fast reply.
